No flounce, just a goodbye. I have enjoyed the fun, wit and skill of other people, so thanks for that. I have also enjoyed the company. I am less sure of the rather cowardly use of anonymous tags - no doubt, this message will bring some more, but that's OK.

I am in an untenable position now.

I like to pretend that my subs have not been all about 'me'. Some have scored (I have one on the ticker tape at the moment), but I have clearly offended people. I will miss the company and warmth of a number of people. Rest assured that I am not as awful as I sound. I know that the site will continue to grow and remain a great success. Bless us all. Plucky. xxx

Dunno what's got to you, but take a few days off if you feel the need, I don't post daily, and we'll see you then.
Have a beer, watch England v Germany, then Wires v Leeds tomorrow, have more beer, then have a pizza, more beer, and chill.
Then log back in and say Hi(c)

Dr Mop.
You can only get 5 stars now, not ten.
That's why he's un ten able.
I may be wrong, but it's a good a theory as any.
I also think I must be in an un ten able position too, but I have a partner who understands and compensates.

Cheerio, PM. I'd like to think that you came back once to read all the nice responses you got to your final post, but you've gone. So I won't bother saying I'll miss you and wishing you all the best, 'cos you won't see it.

You must stay, Plucks. Where would you go? I can't abide the thought of you in the embrace of Joan Bloggs, or worse. Come to think of it, there isn't any worse. Where will we be without you singing softly in the background, like a nightingale wounded in the shoulder?

Wales is currently under-represented on NB and your rash resignation does nothing for ethnic balance.
